[00:00:00]Risk is intoxicating. No, >> it is.

[00:00:02]>> While you're taking it, it gives you a high. As long as the bets don't go wrong, they always get bigger organically. If you had to bet money on some entrepreneur today, wouldn't you pick somebody who has screwed up a couple of times versus somebody who's doing it for the first time?

[00:00:16]>> Screwed up a couple of times, but eventually made it.

[00:00:18]>> Yeah.

[00:00:18]>> Yeah, that is important.

[00:00:19]>> I feel like this prophecy is true for all life. I like people who are a little bit screwed up in all domains. When I meet a man and I don't know what his vice is, I assume the worst. When somebody comes to me and projects the idealistic mask, then I worry.
